The Lyma Laser – Starter Kit
Gwyneth Paltrow and Hailey Bieber, both dedicated patrons, the brainchild of founder Lucy Goff and Dr Graeme Glass provided the pioneering studies of laser technology that contributed to the creation of the world’s medical-grade at-home laser device. The Lyma Lasers seamlessly integrate four potent antibacterial blue LED lights with a laser beam, reinvigorating the skin at the cellular level rather than merely skimming the surface, unlike other devices. While the LED targets the uppermost layers, eliminating breakout-causing bacteria, the laser delves deeper, creating real and transformative results.
Every lucky owner of this marvellous little device will have a customised journey with a one-on-one consultation with an expert to thoroughly examine their skin, receive guidance and advice on usage, and get any questions answered. Included in the Lyma Laser Starter Kit are the laser device, an oxygen mist, and a glide gel.
How to use: Firstly, commence with a freshly cleansed face, followed by around six spritzes of the Lyma Oxygen Mist—an oxygen-rich facial spray boasting rich minerals. Next, apply three to four pumps of the Lyma Glide Gel serum, coupled with a chosen oil or moisturiser, to the designated treatment area for the Lyma Laser.
Use according to your needs; you can use this across the entire face or hold stationary over specific areas where you may have concerns with pigmentation, scarring, or acne. Due to their advanced technology, there is no need for protective goggles, allowing you to indulge in a daily treatment regimen from the comfort of your own sofa, ensuring a commitment to consistent use is both achievable and realistic.
For optimal outcomes, we recommended using around 15 minutes of daily treatment for the initial three months, followed by maintenance treatments twice a week thereafter. Elevate your skincare routine with the Lyma Lasers, a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology and passion for elevating skincare, promising you a transformative result of radiant and rejuvenated skin in the comfort of your own home.
